How We Met

Ben was one of the horses that was at the barn I borded my other horse at.My sister and I helped the owner of the barn to brake and train him for the saddle. When I was moving away the owner gave him to me as a gift for being so helpful on the farm. Got to admit that's the best way to get a good horse!!.

Hey Argos hereBoy has it been an adventure this year first I had to save my herd from a neighbors crazy stallion. He tore our fence down and attacked us but I tried with all my mite to keep him away and ended up pretty battered myself. I saved them though only 7 out of 23 of us got attacked me the worst. Then I was excepted into the Sheriff's Posse and we went on a practice search and rescue I was nervous at first but soon found out that I like trail rides and like to look for missing people. Then in June I went to a horse show and trotted on my own without other horses around boy was Felicia happy we didn't do great but we had fun. So now we are looking for a new riding instructor and hopefully we can get a few lessons in before winter hits.

THANK YOU BEN!!!Wow...where do I start?...I guess I will start with THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SO VERY MUCH!!! I am so happy that my girl Ferina got HOTM! But she could NOT have done it without every single person that voted! Ferina got 1,017 votes in January! Thanks to everyone and their beautiful lovely horses. I know I have said this over and over, but Ferina has changed my life in so many ways and I am just so glad that she won. I just can NOT thank yall enough. I am SO excited to see what all this year has in store for Ferina and I, and of course Gracie and Izzy too!!! Which reminds me, their pages are now opened=) Anyway, thanks again to every single person who voted!!!

Hey Ben! How are you? Nice to hear from you! Thanks so much, that means alot! Well this weekend we MIGHT get a little snow, but I kinda doubt that it will stick. It's going to be really cold, but we are going to try and ride anyway this Saturday! Well here's a vote!

Hey! Well SO sorry for the c/p, I am a little off schedule today because I went to see Skippa and the herd today and had quite a bit of homework. Well first of all I would like for you to all know that I am working on a blogspot like Ruth Ann ( Navajo ) and I will give you all the link as soon as I get it going! Okay so today I went to see Skippa. I am really liking her! She is such a sweetheart. We just got her out and pet her and led her around a bit. We are taking it slow and getting her used to us. She did very good today. When it starts warming up, I will be going to play with her almost daily=) Well we are leaving you with a vote, hope you have a great week!

Hey Ben! So nice to hear from you! That sounds pretty good, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you! Yeah, I had a great Christmas! I got all kinds of tack such as a breast collar, a headstall, 2 pairs of reins, a saddle blanket, and then I got a BRIGHT pink lunge whip! I also got 2 gift cards to Tractor Supply, I'm gonna buy Izzy a halter with it, and also a few more things! My friend is getting me 2 halters for Christmas for the girls, too! Oh and I got a laptop and a new camera...I got it real good this year, a whole lot more than I deserve, haha! Well I hope that you are having a good new year so far! I have alot planned for this year! Ferina's training for western pleasure and pole bending will start, and I will also be helping with 5 other horses' training! I'm so excited. Well that's just about all for now...will be looking forward to hearing from you next time!! Here's a vote!

A vote for handsome BEN from Petite FleurTHANKS for stopping by! How old are your kids? In school so early before LABOR DAY??? I would have gone on strike, he he! Keep blogging with news you sound like my kind of HC friend and living in a foreign country I sure do appreciate friends!

hey ben!!yeah, al saw my haflinger's tantrum photos! hehe. both my haf's look identical to al. so cute. they're both personality plus, too!! how is ben and the herd today? have a great week end. vote if you can. :)

Hi Ben!!! Dont worry about it, I know how it is to not have time to get on HC as much as I would like. I found time yesterday because I didnt have a lot of homework. Well tonight is our first high school football game. I might go to that, but dont know. I am going to ask my mom if she can take me to see my horses today after school, then go spend the night with my grandparents. Then see the horses again tomorrow. I dont know yet. We left a vote:):):)

hicheck out my action shots of me riding my haflinger, peach with no saddle or bridle! she's fine bareback and really slow. i thought it would be fun to try but it ends up she doesn't think she should be ridden with no bridle, apparently!! she tried to bite me and was giving halfhearted bucks and rears!!

Sounds like Ben has a very nice attitude, sorta like Cheyennes and Cheyenne is my favorite horses to ride. Who is Princess? Yeah it is always nice to ride with someone and I am always trying to convince a family member to go riding with as well. Heres a vote.

A vote for BEN from Petite FleurWell we have another heat wave for a week after a two days of relief ! NO RAIN for almost 3 weeks! The worst part is not riding, just exercising in the morning & evenings! Here is a Saturday vote and hope your week-end is nice! Whinnies & nickers to you!

Thats great to know school is going well for you! There is a proper way to walk and jog? Haha, who knew! ;P Well school is going good for me too! I would rather be riding, but you know. Haha. Well left a vote, talk to you sooN!

higood morning to ben! i see that he's hard to catch sometimes. do you board him or keep him at home. i try to go out in the pasture and pet or give my horses a carrot sometimes. that way it's not always catch and ride. they come to me easier. anyway, he sounds like a great partner. hope you're planning a fun week end.

VOTE BEN from Petite FleurAlmost the 100th voter darn! Sorry I have to leave this C&P message but please understand!HEAT WAVE ALERT ! Not sure if my computer will hold up unless I stick it under the AC ! IT is 105°F and air quality in LYON & Grenoble (close by us) is on high red alert due to pollutants with too many cars on the auto routes during the vacation time! Please pray we get over this soon and my poor PETITE FLEUR will stay as cool as possible! Absolutely no riding or anything more than a walk. HOPE THIS BLOG & VOTE FINDS YOU WELL!

Hey ben =]Hey. Thanks so much for the votes and the blogs! I left you a vote for today so please come and vote back on Chance's page soon! Thanks so much, i would greatly appreciate it... Have a great day! <3 Payton, Ace, Ruby, Chance, and Flame!

VOTE 94 for Mercedes BEN from Petite FleurHI BEN, it is PF flirting!PETITE FLEUR IS STANDING THE HEAT WAVE PRETTY WELL ! ALL I DO IS WATER HER CHANGE HER WATER AND GIVE HER COOL APPLES & SUGAR CUBES. THIS IS A HOT HEAT WAVE WEDNESDAY VOTE FOR YOU! KEEP COOL!

Yeah I hope I can find my cattle soon to, the pasture that they have escaped into is about 1000acres with lots of hills and trees so I still have alot more searching ahead of me. It sounds like your Thursday ride was lots of fun, I always like those long rides. Yeah I would imagine that my horses would hate getting baths too, but then most of them have never had a bath before. Does your older sister have Alpine on here, because I am sure I am blooging her as well. Heres a vote.

A big vote for BEN from Petite FleurPetite Fleur and mom sneaking in some votes and blogs while our week-end guests went into our médieval town for a brocante which is like an antique show ! Mom gets entertaining & clean up breaks. It is going up to 100°F again (about 40°C) in our area! I must order hay because the pasture needs rain and rotation again! Too hot for it today! Here is a SUNDAY vote!

Well trail riding is alot of fun, I do alot of trail riding as well. Today I went on an all morning trail ride looking for some missing cattle. We didn't find the cows but the ride was still lots of fun. Heres a vote.

P.S. from Petite FleurI AM SO SORRY ABOUT STARR! There is a 30 yr old mare named DARLING who is being considered for putting down before winter cold! I hate the thought of these things! I just put my best loved labrador retriever down late January and the hole in my heart is not gone! He was close to 14 years and failed fast so it was not a long illness. BUT STILL I cry myself to sleep many nights when no one can hear me.

A THURSDAY vote from Petite FleurHOPE ALL IS WELL IN YOUR FAMILY! PRAYING & THINKING ABOUT YOU EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER MET! WELL this ole gal is a little stiff this morning but still moving around and doing GROUND WORK ONLY with Petite Fleur ! No bareback or saddle riding, it is going up to almost 100°F today! Here is a HOT THURSDAY VOTE!
